The Wild Robot in cinemas October 18th

Lilo & Stitch director Chris Sanders presents a visually beautiful ode to compassion and the wonders of nature in this feature-length CG adventure, based on Peter Brown’s book series of the same name. Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o voices the titular robot Rozzum ‘Roz’ 7134 who washes ashore on a seemingly deserted island; there she becomes the guardian of an orphaned gosling, which she names Brightbill (voiced by Kit Connor).

 

Paddington in Peru in cinemas November 8th, 2024

Just like a marmalade sandwich, the Paddington movies are sweet and somehow spicy in equal measure. The previous two movies adapted Michael Bond’s original stories beautifully mixing whimsy, humour and a host of memorable scene-stealing performances, notably Hugh Grant’s villainous Phoenix Buchanan. In this, the third Paddington movie, Paddington returns to his home country for another adventure that’s sure to be sandwiched with laughs and pathos.

Buffalo Kids PG in cinemas 11th October

Mary (Alisha Weir) and Tom (Conor Macneill) are parentless Irish siblings who arrive in New York City via ocean liner in 1886 and quickly find themselves on a wild, cross-country journey aboard a transcontinental “Orphan Train” where they meet an extraordinary new friend who will change their lives forever. Fuelled by curiosity, friendship, and teamwork, their dangerous and discovery-filled journey will introduce them to devious villains, surprising allies, unexpected heroes, and unimaginable adventures on a hilarious and heart-warming search for home.

Moana 2 – released November 29th, 2024

Disney’s eagerly awaited sequel to their 2016 hit reunites us with the plucky Polynesian hero Moana and her loveable goofy demi-god sidekick Maui (Dwayne Johnson). Expect more breathtaking sights and sounds as the waves crash over us and the story takes us to the very edges of the much-mythologized Oceania.

Mufasa: The Lion King – released December 20th, 2024

Discover the origins of Simba’s father Mufasa in this live-action/CG prequel to the studio’s 2019 reboot of The Lion King. Acclaimed filmmaker Barry Jenkins (Moonlight; If Beale Street Could Talk) dramatises the initial conflict between noble Mufasa (voiced by Aaron Pierre) and his scheming brother Scar (Kelvin Harrison Jr) and how it set the stage for the ultimate Pride Rock battle many years later between Simba and his nefarious uncle.
